Commentary During Books Serenad
In this heartbreaking Turkish novel based on the real-life sinking of a refugee ship during World War II, an elderly professor leaves America to revisit the city where he last glimpsed his beloved wife. Istanbul, 2001. Maya Duran is a single mother struggling to balance a demanding job at Istanbul University with the challenges of raising a teenage son. Her worries increase when she is tasked with looking after the enigmatic Maximilian Wagner, an elderly German-born Harvard professor visiting the city at the university's invitation. Although he is distant at first, Maya gradually learns of the tragic circumstances that brought him to Istanbul sixty years before, and the dark realities that continue to haunt him. Inspired by the 1942 Struma disaster, in which nearly 800 Jewish refugees perished after the ship carrying them to Palestine was torpedoed off the coast of Turkey, Serenade for Nadia is both a poignant love story and a gripping testament to the power of human connection in crisis.

Reading this book was a great journey through history, culture, psychology and beautiful philosophy that links East and West. Simply loved the way how the author plays with words and emotions while exposing in a very sofisticated way such harmful historical scars.
Beautiful and tragic. A war story that evolves in the present, like a noir novel.
The most impresive book in my life.Love,Law, Government...The world is different than before!
Nice
A lovely historical fiction based on the sinking of the Struma - a refugee ship that was torpedoed off the coast of Istanbul on February 24, 1942. The ship was carrying more than 750 Jewish refugees from Romania en route to Palestine. The book straddles two timelines - 2001 in Istanbul with flash backs to WW II times. A visiting professor from the U.S. travels to Istanbul University to spend a few days and is assigned a staff member - May Duran - to guide and assist him during his stay. But
